On November 11, 2020, Reaume was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR for violating Sections 12.1 and 12.8.1.e of the NASCAR rule book for a discriminatory post made on social media. [26] Although NASCAR did not mention what post caused the suspension as per their policy, Reaume claimed to NASCAR journalist Toby Christie that a photo of a toaster strudel with a swastika icing was the cause of the suspension.
